Let's call them what they are: [View all] The Green Manalishi Jul 2016 OP

I can appreciate your thoughts on these matters. But this is a culture war... Eleanors38 Jul 2016 #1

Ditto... virginia mountainman Jul 2016 #2

My pony real point is that language should serve to clarify The Green Manalishi Jul 2016 #3

I agree, and "assault weapons" was purposefully used to obfuscate. Eleanors38 Jul 2016 #10

Thanx for the graphics. Eleanors38 Jul 2016 #9

I'm jonseing for a Henry Big Boy in ..357 The Green Manalishi Jul 2016 #7

Sounds pretty nice discntnt_irny_srcsm Jul 2016 #8

I prefer to think of it as a firearm who appreciates craftsmanship and gejohnston Jul 2016 #13

How many rounds does the .357 magazine hold? Maybe 1 more with .38 sp? aikoaiko Aug 2016 #15

Usually 1 fewer .357 than .38 Spl, at least in my Uberti lever action '92 DonP Aug 2016 #16

So, 103 people shot in an Orlando night club with an AR 15 derivative. flamin lib Jul 2016 #11

Wrong again. Straw Man Jul 2016 #12

Not to mention the military went away from full auto Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #14

Nope. The Green Manalishi Aug 2016 #18

Really? God that's pathetic. How far will gun people go to defend their fetish. flamin lib Aug 2016 #19

I agree discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2016 #21

Facts, please. Straw Man Aug 2016 #25

10 rounds? Didn't you claim to have more knowledge about guns... Marengo Aug 2016 #30

See 24. nt flamin lib Aug 2016 #36

If you are talking about cyclic rate, you're not talking about an AR. benEzra Aug 2016 #35

You are wrong, I've done it flamin lib Aug 2016 #37

Even bump-firing, an AR-15 can't touch the cyclic rate of an M16 benEzra Aug 2016 #42

No. You have not done it. Straw Man Aug 2016 #55

Why do you considdr the M1 as "the last trench gun"? Marengo Aug 2016 #87

Trench warfare was a thing of the past by the time the M1 was developed (late 1930's) friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #94

That's what I was wondering. By the time the M1 was adopted, the Army was concentrating... Marengo Aug 2016 #95

"trench gun": discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2016 #96

I've only seen the term used to describe combat shotguns. I'd like to understand the context... Marengo Aug 2016 #97

AFAIK "trench gun" never refers to a rifle discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2016 #98

This message was self-deleted by its author jmg257 Aug 2016 #20

ballistic damage from .30-06 in CQ... discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2016 #22

Yeah, 8 vs 10 rounds per clip. Was mixing Enfield with Garand. Thanks for the correction. nt flamin lib Aug 2016 #24

The M1 is clip fed, whereas the Enfield is magazine fed. There really isn't any excuse... Marengo Aug 2016 #31

"I daresay that I know more about guns...than most gun nuts here on DU" friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #34

I daresay that is a dubious claim. Marengo Aug 2016 #47

This message was self-deleted by its author pablo_marmol Aug 2016 #60

Only for bonefide gun nutz. The clip on the M1 is a box loaded outside the rifle. flamin lib Aug 2016 #38

No, this is basic technical terminology which someone of your supposed expertise... Marengo Aug 2016 #46

No, Marengo, this deflection over minutia and an attempt to ad honemiem flamin lib Aug 2016 #48

What "losing argument"? Correcting your erroneous terminology? It's extremely difficult for me... Marengo Aug 2016 #49

You're still deflecting and attacking me instead of addressing the basic premise. nt flamin lib Aug 2016 #65

I'm addressing your self professed status as someone highly knowledgeable of firearms... Marengo Aug 2016 #85

"If YOU don't understand the internal mechanisms of assault weapons I suggest that you are... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #67

Why do you refer to the M1 as a trench gun? Marengo Aug 2016 #70

No shit. Puha Ekapi Aug 2016 #78

In that particular venue, the Orlando shooter could have shot 103 people with a full-sized pistol, benEzra Aug 2016 #79

Still wondering why you refer to the M1 as a "trench gun"? Marengo Aug 2016 #140

I wouldn't be holding your breathe discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2016 #141

You're likely right, but I am genuinely curious having owned several M1s over the years... Marengo Aug 2016 #142

Because it's an "Evil Scary Gun Term", and "assault weapon" was already taken.... benEzra Aug 2016 #143

If only the control types could... discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2016 #144

Interesting. A good step in making conversation more concrete... The Green Manalishi Aug 2016 #88

155gr .30-06 is still trading velocity for long range and penetration. Try 110gr. benEzra Aug 2016 #33

Worked okay in Sandy Hook, Dallas, San Bernadino and on and on and on. nt flamin lib Aug 2016 #41

"Adapted" or "adopted"? Straw Man Aug 2016 #73

Because they were spec'ing it for use in automatic weapons. benEzra Aug 2016 #74

I have... Puha Ekapi Aug 2016 #93

Mainly weight Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #77

Weight is a big issue now, but that was less of an criterion before body armor was general-issue. benEzra Aug 2016 #81

Thanks Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #82

And who says ... Straw Man Aug 2016 #53

Now that we have finished the big dick contest of who knows how much flamin lib Aug 2016 #40

Address the fucking question. Stop with the red herring and deflection. nt flamin lib Aug 2016 #66

The type of gun is not the problem... Sancho Aug 2016 #54

I have many questions for you discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2016 #57

Because it's a waste of time to "define" the type of guns... Sancho Aug 2016 #62

Nothing unconstitutional...carry permits are legal. Sancho Aug 2016 #101

Nothing to do with crime...gun VIOLENCE... Sancho Aug 2016 #107

How can gun violence not be a crime, unless one counts paper targets, clay pigeons... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #108

Many examples...here's one.... Sancho Aug 2016 #109

The *number of media accounts* is on the rise, not the rate. That is what is declining. friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #111

that has been dropping too. gejohnston Aug 2016 #112

I would like to address this but... discntnt_irny_srcsm Aug 2016 #110

You were talking about a license to own, not a license to carry. Big difference. beevul Aug 2016 #113

Nope...I never mentioned a license to own.... Sancho Aug 2016 #114

Possession and use is an extension of ownership. beevul Aug 2016 #116

The book is by a legal scholar...here's some more...there are many cases...it's legal. Sancho Aug 2016 #117

So what? beevul Aug 2016 #118

You make my point... Sancho Aug 2016 #119

Not so much. beevul Aug 2016 #120

Again, you make my point... Sancho Aug 2016 #121

No, I really don't. beevul Aug 2016 #123

So disagree with carry permits? Sancho Aug 2016 #124

Not desiring prior restraint on an enumerated right =/= "(a) desire to allow dangerous people... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #126

Carry permits are prior restraint... Sancho Aug 2016 #128

I have no problem with carry permits so long as they are given on an objective basis... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #130

A license is a version of a carry permit... Sancho Aug 2016 #131

Your licensing proposal is flawed, IMO, because of the idea "you can have one IF... friendly_iconoclast Aug 2016 #134
